Mimi's Cafe Avis 13

No matter where in the USA I go, Mimi's Cafe always has great homestyle food and great service. Their breakfast is good too.

I would write a longer review, but just the thought of Mimi's pot roast is making me hungry and I now need to go eat! lol.

Good company

Mimi’s menu sounds wonderful. The photos and descriptions definitely tempt the appetite. HOWEVER, the food is NOT good. Eggs Benedict are watery with too little hollandaise sauce and soggy bread. Potatoes are rubbery and cold rather than hot and crispy outside with tender potato insides. The crème brûlée has a thin soft top that cannot crack properly. The French Dip was awful! Poor quality, chewy bread with nothing but deli meat from a package still folded as if no one could be bothered to separate the slices. The au jus was flavorless and cold.
Doesn’t a quiche or pot pie sound great? They are not. The crust on any pie product is soft and flexible on the sides and mushy on the bottom. It seems that a flaky crust is impossible in Mimi’s kitchen. The omelets are tough on the outside. The food is almost always too cold and warmed- over tasting. The apple desert is almost ok but, again the crust is just not acceptable. A side of cinnamon apples did taste nice but I paid $4. for three bites of apple.
We have tried many times to give Mimi’s an opportunity to live up to their menu’s promises. They just can’t seem to do it. It's a nice place. The restaurant could be packed with diners if only the food was prepared properly. We kept going back because we convinced ourselves that the bad food was a fluke each time, next time it would be as good as it sounded. We have now given up. We will not return unless we hear that there is a new chef. We want to have the food that is on the menu, prepared with skill.
Please Mimi’s, think of your customers and imagine the great restaurant you could be. Find a cook who cares what the customer eats. Find a chef who can properly prepare food for people who pay to eat it.
Thanks to the kind servers and hostesses and the bar staff. And thank you to all those who work in the kitchen and don’t have anything to do with the food preparation.

April was our waitress. Came by regularly to check on us. Food was excellent

Braxton was our food runner and by far the friendliest person who served us. Please reward her well. I wanted to leave her a gift but they did not tell her.

We had a wonderful dinner with the delicious food and attentive server. The three of us will definitely come back for breakfast as well

The food was so good love this place, so clean great staff just an overall great place to eat would give it 10 Stars

Liz was a nice server ! Food was excellent 👍

I went to Mimi's to buy gift cards on Christmas Eve. Almost everyone offers a bonus when purchasing gift cards during Christmas. AppleBee's across the driveway offered such a bonus. I was ignored by the first person, the second person said he had to ask his manager, and the manager just said no. I drove across town to Black Bear Diner and they happily server me. They had lots of people waiting outside, yet I was able to go up to the counter and purchase $250 worth of gift cards and I received an additional $5 for every $25 dollars I bought. I complained to Mimi's directly and nothing.

The cakes and drinks were great and was very clean. However, the wallpaper was not age appropriate for children in general. Apart from that the service was good and so were the toilets

The experience was different than all of my many visits in FL. I’d grown accustom to getting a variety of bread choices. These days I really don’t eat a lot of bread but was truly disappointed to find that customers are now limited to rolls and not a slice of the loaf bread. Ok I’m in CA now so maybe that’s it...so very disappointing to know that I’d have to purchase an entire loaf just to get a slice. May not be a deal breaker but I won’t visit at least for a while. The meal was not as enjoyable as it had been before due to this change in service. My OPINION.

Great food. Service was ok. I like their French onion soup. Good place for breakfast.
